One of the perks of living in a quaint neighborhood are the kind neighbors. It gives you a feeling of secuirty and safety, being surrounded by all these people who you usually at least know on a first name basis. So what happens when someone moves in and lives in their own little entitled world?

  • Having an entitled neighbor is, unfortunately, not a new tale to hit the web. It happens often and usually comes with a petty little side story of drama. This one in particular is dealing with a “strange” neighbor who turned out to be a “Burner” aka someone who goes to the notorious “Burning Man” festival every year. 

    This neighbor was already considered kind of “strange” because of his parking habits. Though there was always tons of space in front of his own home, he would always park in front of someone elses. It was annoying to the neighbors, but he started to get the picture when orange cones started blocking him out. So for the most part, though he wasn't making an effort to get to know his neighbors, he was fine. However, once a year he would rent a big Uhaul, pack up all of his garage, and head to Burning Man. This time he had a little bit of a Burner gathering at his home before heading off and one of his friends felt entitled to parking. But not just any parking, leaving her car for a week blocking a neighbors driveway. Like, you're just asking to be towed at this point… Apparently, she felt like she was wronged when she came back to her car gone. Read what happened below!

    Strange Parking Choices M ► So I've got a somewhat odd neighbor across the street. Been there for about 10 years and I've barely spoken with him (early-30's when he moved in). He is rarely out front of his home.

    He drives down the driveway from the back of his house, and then drives back in the same way. I just barely see the dude. From what the neighbors said who sold their house to him, he's a GoogleNaire (sold an app that made a ton of money). He bought the house because it was close to the small local airport. To each his own. Anyways, he frequently parks strangely when he doesn't put the car in his driveway during the odd hours of the day that he comes and goes. For a while, he would park in front

    instead of two spots, there's just the one. And he does it when his own frontage is completely empty. As I have older in-laws and college age kids that visit, I need close parking for them. I never saw the guy and he didn't answer his door twice, so I started putting orange cones in front when he was gone. After a month, issues ceased. Fast-forward a year and it's time for Burning Man. Every year he has a dozen of his friends unload his garage into a giant U-Haul. Only time I ever see more than

    The prior year he had driven the truck into a neighbors tree knocking it down, and just went on like nothing happened. Thankfully, someone saw him and he was forced to take care of it. On this occasion, I see the truck show up and then his friends. I work from home, so am doing my thing thru the course of the day. At 3pm, I have to go pick up my youngest from school and take their friends to rowing

    practice. I come outside, and there is a car parked across my driveway. The two spots along the frontage are empty, but this person parked blocking me in. And there is a child in a car seat. I call out to the neighbor's friends that they need to move the car. A woman (mid-30's) says, "Hold on. I'll just be half an hour."

    "Uhhhh, no. I need to leave right now to pick up my daughter at school." She rolls her eyes and tips her head back, "Fine. Gimme 15 minutes." As far as I could see, she'd not been doing anything at all except talking to one of the others when I had called out. "No. Sorry. Now. I need to get my daughter at school and I don't have time to waste." She finely comes over I and moves her car.

    But rather than pulling forward 10 feet into the open frontage, she pulls her car into the driveway of a different neighbor. Which I thought was odd. But hey, it's a dumb choice with no reasoning behind it, but not my current problem. I leave. I get back home two hours later, and her car is back in front of my driveway. And there is no one in sight. Again, unrestricted parking and open frontage in front of both my home and the odd neighbor, but her car is in front of my driveway. I knock on the

    nothing. I knock on the neighbor next door in whose driveway she'd parked, and they said they had forced her out when they got back with their daughter. But they had seen the group all pull out with the Uhaul. So I had her towed. 5 days later (could have been 4 or 6) I hear pounding at my door. It was the entitled girl (and the odd neighbor) demanding to know

    where her car is. "I had it towed. Here's their card. Why would you abandon your car in front of my driveway?" I couldn't really make out the crazy she was screaming at me, but she seemed to suggest it was punishment for being so unreasonable. I think. She called the police and the tow company. The cops laughed at her. She got a ride to the tow company from what I could tell. Never saw her again. Neighbor came over to apologize the next day. He hadn't seen her move her car the second time to my
